Preparation

Step 1

In a wok or frying pan over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil, swirling to coat the bottom and sides of the pan. When the oil is hot, add the spinach and stir and toss rapidly for about 1 minute. Cover and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes longer. Uncover and raise the heat to high to boil away any excess liquid.
Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Spoon into a warmed serving bowl, sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese, and toss to mix. Serve immediately.
